Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Real Time Practical Approach for Multi Objective Job Shop Scheduling Using Fuzzy Logic ApproachR. Ramkumar, A. Tamilarasi, T. DeviMulti objective Job Shop scheduling is a difficult task in both theoretical and practical solving issues. Problem statement: In the present scenario the modern Engineering and Industrial manufacturing units are facing lot of problems in many aspects such as machining time, raw material movement, man power requirement, electricity demand and customer satisfaction.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstrained Probabilistic Economic Order Quantity Model under Varying Order Cost and Zero Lead Time Via Geometric ProgrammingKotb Abd-El-Hamid Mahmoud Kotb, Huda Mohamed Hamid Al-ShanbariProblem statement: In this study, we provide a simple method to determine the inventory policy of probabilistic single-item Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model, that has varying order cost and zero lead time. The model is restricted to the expected holding cost and the expected available limited storage space. Approach: The annual expected total cost is composed of three components (expected … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Key Search Space of Vigenere Cipher Using Particle Swarm OptimizationGanapathi Sivagurunathan, T. PurusothamanProblem statement: With the demand for effective network security is increasing, it becomes necessary to find the strength and weaknesses of the existing cryptographic methods. Vigenere cipher, a classical cipher is analyzed for its strength against a cipher only attack. Approach: The cipher texts so selected were of various sizes up to 1 Kb. A biologically inspired algorithm, Particle Swarm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Interregional Commodity FlowsWirach Hirun, Sompong SirisoponsilpProblem statement: Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) was launched to collect comprehensive freight flow data throughout the kingdom of Thailand. The survey’s database is the most complete collection of commodity flow data in Thailand. The need to reveal interregional freight characteristics using available data from the CFS led to the objectives of this research. Approach: An origin destination matrix based on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Quercetin Encapsulated Liposomes via Nasal Administration: A Novel Cognitive EnhancerTerdthai Tong-un, Supaporn Muchimapura, Wathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn WattanathornProblem statement: Demand for cognitive-enhancing drugs is growing. Numerous medicinal plants possessing antioxidant activity have received much attention as food supplement to improve cognitive function. Quercetin is a potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant. However, the limitations of quercetin: Rapidly metabolized is an obstacle to its use for a cognitive enhancer. In addition, the burden of blood brain barrier can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Exact Algorithms for Rectilinear Distance Single-Source Capacitated Multi-Facility Weber ProblemsChansiri Singhtaun, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: The objective of this study is to develop efficient exact algorithms for a single source capacitated multi-facility location problem with rectilinear distance. This problem is concerned with locating m capacitated facilities in the two dimensional plane to satisfy the demand of n customers with minimum total transportation cost which is proportional to the rectilinear distance between the facilities … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInventory Management Systems with Hazardous Items of Two-Parameter Exponential DistributionAzizul Baten, Anton Abdulbasah KamilProblem statement: An exponentially decaying inventory was first developed by[10]. The certain commodities were observed to shrink with time by a proportion which can be approximated by a negative exponential function of time. Here, the novelty we took into consideration was that a constant hazardous rate followed by the two-parameter exponential distribution. Approach: We studied the inventory system with two-parameter … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,302 accessesView PDFCite
